The Copernican revolution:how I learned to love Hank Moody

Reading USA reviews seems like Mr. Duchovny -at this point of his career- couldn’t choose a better character than Hank Moody. Of course he had already shot love scenes,but now is an icon of POP culture to make it,not just a young actor at the beginnig of his career.

But I ask to myself: what kind of “effect” Hank Moody causes to a ddwatcher? If I see the Rodeo dr. pics I perfectly understand Hank isn’t real but only a character: David Duchovny is a great pro and it can perceive this when I look him next to Madeline Zima…but…however, when I see these pictures it's like I can hear the director screaming “action!” and he immediately becomes Hank. You could say: “what a surprise, he is an actor!”. But the point is: however the magic remains…
The female’s fan perturbation – a little feminist too – isn’t only due to explicit sex or to the naked vision of own idol, but especially to the meaning of Hank’s character.
He is womanizer -with a debatable life style- depressed and ipomaniac too. He isn’t no more Fox Mulder: a smart gentleman who looks always pretty good. I’m shocked by these new points of view proposing by the last Duchovny’s character, but at he same time I’m totally fascinated of him.
I’ve always thought the character of Tom in “Trust the man” movie was too similar to the real Mr. D. and because of this, he wasn’t too much interesting.
Bad behavior isn’t in choosing a related character but in making him likeable!
Likeable "villains" are yet existed in television culture, but it's hard to accept a male chauvinist hu?
Changes are always difficult;so... is it possible leave characters with a feminine kind of eroticism (I’m thinking of the one that it read in X Files’ Fanfics, in which it has an imagined and waited sex – often made in a delicate, soft way-) for taking a *macho*, a character provides with an almost pornographic erotism? How does female fan feel? Is she offense, satisfy or gratify?
